Don't Believe the Obamacare Spin - Here's What's Still Wrong. By Kevin Glass 
Excerpt: Today is the day of President Obama's self-imposed "deadline" for marked improvements in functionality for Healthcare.gov, a crucial cog in the Rube Goldberg machine of Obamacare. Don't be surprised if the Obama Administration's out there front and center with spin on how they've met their deadline. Don't believe it. The bureaucrats who answer to President Obama are the only people in the world who will be privy to the actual numbers.

Excerpt: CNN reports that in September of 2010, in an attempt to let people keep their insurance plans, Senate Republicans tried to block the grandfather rule that is currently resulting in millions of Americans having their insurance policies cancelled. Democrats, including many who are facing re-election next year, unanimously voted to support the rule. The result, as we have seen, is two million already losing the insurance plan Obama repeatedly promised they could keep.

No Grounds for Claim That Affordable Care Act Lowers Health Care Costs. By Charles Blahous
Excerpt: .Faced with public anger, ACA supporters are now turning to another argument to promote the law: that the ACA is already working to hold down health care cost growth.

In fact, as David Muhlhausen documents in his new book, Do Federal Social Programs Work? (Praeger), it's pretty much the norm.

Worth Reading & Saving: Is There Global Warming?
Long, but with a lot of links to facts. ~Bob. Excerpt: But, what if global warming is not what they say it is? What if the world's temperature is headed in the opposite direction? Global temperatures increased for twenty years from the late 1970s to the late 1990s but have either stopped warming or have begun to cool in the last seventeen years. The global warming and subsequent cooling were even predictable due to hundreds of years of historical trends and observation of the impact of variations in solar activity and ocean cycles on global temperatures. Did you know that in the past the Roman Period and Medieval Period were both several degrees warmer than today's temperature. The world then cooled at least four degrees from approx. 1450 to 1850.

(Like Germans in 1946 trying to distance themselves from the Nazis. "We knew nothing..." ~bob)

Excerpt: For example, this past Wednesday brought news that the Prime Minister of Latvia has resigned because the roof of a shopping center in his country collapsed! Folks, take a minute to consider that! A politician taking the blame for something he had no control over! Now, can you imagine our national bliss if politicians in this country were willing to take the fall for at least those things they do screw up? Barack Hussein Obama wouldn't have lasted through that first year of his Presidency as he squandered a cool trillion dollars in pork barrel stimulus, promised to achieve 6 percent unemployment and bring the economy back! How much healthier would this country be if he had taken credit for that massive failure and snuck back to Chicago? And even if he had managed to skate through the first disastrous four years wouldn't you think the guy would have resigned after the Obamacare fiasco?

Cancer patient who spoke out against Obama is audited
Excerpt: Now suddenly Bill Elliot is being audited for 2009 with an interview only scheduled in April 2014. Assuming he lives that long. That might be a coincidence, but Tucker is being audited back to 2003…We are on the brink of totalitarianism.

Op-Ed: Nuclear Deal Violates UN Security Council Resolutions: UN Security Council resolutions ordered the Islamic Republic to abandon all enrichment and reprocessing activities.
Excerpt: At the time when the Islamic republic is showing signs of economic implosion due to crippling sanctions, the premature lifting of sanctions in exchange for baseless promises of goodwill has emboldened Iran to preserve its primary goal: the "right" to continue enriching uranium. As it turned out, the "interim" agreement that came out of negotiations in Geneva was a done deal: accommodation masquerading as accompllshment. The deal is an embarrassing diplomatic fiasco, for it "provides international support and de facto recognition of Iran" as a nuclear-weapons capable state.

That didn't go over well. Citing an inside source, James Moriarty recounted that "one of the tribal spies in Libya was serving dinner to Chris Stevens and the personal representative of the prime minister of Turkey" the night Stevens was assassinated at the Benghazi compound.

Liberal Media Loses Half Its Viewers
Excerpt: The liberal media has taken a dive in ratings and number of viewers in the past year. About half of CNN’s and MSNBC’s viewers have abandoned them. So, I guess that means they went from 12 to 6. I’m only joking. I’m sure they had well over a dozen viewers a year ago. And the truth is, everyone’s ratings went down. But CNN and MSNBC took the biggest hits.
